<div class="IPBDescription">Wow, I see what all the hype is about.</div> Very well done overall: I'm glad it was my first graphic novel buy. I'm definately getting the rest of this.

Any others anyone reccomends? Anything you guys think I might need help with?

    TRANSMETROPOLITAN.

    Vulgar, violent, but very good, very funny, and is generally a really good series of comics.

    Well, Extraordinary League of Gentlemen, then Watchmen, then V for Vendetta should keep you going. Just make sure you read 'em in that order; if you read V first, you won't find the other two as brilliant.

    Oh, and The Ballad Of Halo Jones.

    The Dark Knight Returns. I love you, Frank Millar. Almost as much as Alan Moore. <i>Almost</i>.

    Of course, these aren't really the same genre as Sandman...but you should try them anyway.

    Is Maus 2 "In The Shadow Of The Two Towers" (or something like that)? If so, yeah, it's great. If not, then I screwed up, and need to find Maus 2. ;P

    QFGJ!

    Transmet is fuggen GREAT!

    Also, check out marvel 1602 (gaiman worked on it)

    then also read gaiman's books
    "Good Omens" being paramount in my mind (as I also love pratchet)


    ninja edit

    and yus, Maus is great (though it gave my old roomate nazi overload... then again he was taking like 5 classes on WW2 at the time <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

    Well, there's only two Maus' I believe. So it's kinda hard to screw up.

    Maus 1 is "My father bleeds history" and Maus 2 is "And here my troubles began".

    I still managed it.

    The one I mentioned is good, though.

    Sandman is horrifyingly overrated. Get out before you become just another Gaiman fan. You will earn more cool points by reading things like Alan Moore's <i>V for Vendetta</i>.

    Or Sue Grafton's famous crime drama, <i>A Is for Alibi</i> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
